• Gut-Brain Axis: Studies are showing that probiotics (veterinary science) can alter a dog’s anxious behavior (behavioral science). The microbiome is the new frontier.
• Epigenetics: How a mother dog’s stress during pregnancy alters the gene expression of her puppies, making them predisposed to anxiety.
• Telemedicine for Behavior: Post-COVID, remote consultations allow behaviorists to see an animal in its natural environment, without the stress of the clinic skewing the data.
